It's been awhile. A new set of rubber stamped artistamps I've been working on.

Carolyn, of course I missed an obvious source for the 2 cents you wanted - clip it from a stamp (preferably a used one) then the theme of 'collage' and 'mail' carries through everything.  Keep at it. . .

just had a quick play . . .

You make it sound like a chore Carolyn - it is supposed to be a pleasure.  You could just use pen and ink - or pencil even - though not a biro.  For heavens sake, not a biro!  Whatever you do, practice first before you mark the originals. . .

Several options come to mind: rubber stamps might work if you have some or, perhaps better still, grab your scissors and head for a pile of magazines. 

Other than that you could add the type with a computer gizmo such as 'paint' or, if you really wanted to collage, type what you want to put into the computer , print it out whatever size is needed, then cut and paste . . .

I'm sure other people will have suggestions too.

I do not indulge much in archive activity except when it comes to Artistamps.  I keep them all and can never bear to part . . 

When, in 2003, Guy Bleus designed a REAL mailart stamp for the Belgium post I decided it was ok to include the occasional real live stamp amongst the arti stuff so I began a page of 'fake artistamps'.  I do not go out searching for them but another arrived this morning; Lego from France. Crazy!! (and no real perfs either)

I have been chattering away in the mini-mail art group and somehow found myself with a little project that may be of interest here.

I was reminiscing about the days when people cut out imitation stamps from papers and magazines, drew stamps by hand or used collage or photocopies all hand perfed with needles or sewing machines.

Wonderful things are being done with computers and home printers but I miss the element of hand made, the random and the experimental.

So I have hatched a project.  send me any hand made artistamps, singles or sheets; on envelopes or enclosed inside.  Anything as long as there is an element of the hand made.  If I get a dozen or so I will come up with some sort of paper documentation for every one.  No deadlines. No themes. No rules!

address is 128 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JX U K 

Have fun and surprise yourselves.
